Monday Previews!

Greetings all, I hope you had a productive weekend! It is Monday, which means time to see what the writers here at Send The Eighth are working on.

Chris/DiStudios

While Trolls are still at the forefront of my mind, I have decided to start looking at the larger models in the collection. While all the models are fantastic, I have decided to single out the Blood-Maw Vore as my next painting project. There are a couple of reason for this choice, in terms of clean up, it has the least to do and right now I need something I can really just jump into painting. Secondly, I was originally going to do a joint article with Sven as he works on his Blood-Maw, however due to illness, we have both decided that I should go ahead with my one.

Also sneaking into the photos, is a project from my new Oldhammer Sundays series and amusingly a lone Space Marine for a new upcoming Dark Angels project! So quite a variety from next week onwards, a little bit of something for everyone as they say!

After the short holiday my two servants of the King are nearing completion
and I've laid my eyes on yet another Kingdom Death piece which I have lying
around for quite a while. The Butcher!

The model has already been built for several month, but I always pushed it
aside, because all those lanterns look like a pain to paint and I couldn't fully
recall how I painted the Forsaker armour (a Butcher is basically a Forsaker gone
nuts). Luckily I had the awesome idea to read it up in my own article. So I
guess it's about time to tackle it.

This weeks
Mierce model is Talos, Colossus of Bronze. At the moment he is the only member
of the Alalantes faction, although other figures should soon be available if
you have Kickstarter access.

I have long
been a fan of Jason and the Argonauts, the old movie featuring Ray Harryhausen's
special effects. So when I saw this I had to have it. At just over 14cm high it
is a lovely model and as its one of the earlier sculpts there aren't too many
parts making it a very easy piece to construct.

So there you have it, lots of hard work that should result in some fantastic battle reports in the future. Still no sign of AvP for the team, but here is hoping that next week has a nice surprise.
